Description

Kirkharle Farmhouse is a house from the early 19th century, though it has an older core. It is built of ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof and has two storeys in an H-plan layout. The garden front features five bays with a very high plinth. The central three bays have 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor and shortened 6-pane sashes above. The slightly projecting one-bay wings have tripartite sashes on the ground floor and 6-pane sashes above. The wings also feature raised alternating quoins up to the plinth level and a sill band at the first floor.

On the entrance front, there is a plank and battened door in the second bay. The left wing is made of random rubble and was originally attached to another building. The roof is hipped and has two stone corniced ridge stacks.

Inside, the farmhouse includes a stone vaulted basement and six-panelled doors, as well as one wall of significant thickness. The house is part of the partially rebuilt wing of the mansion belonging to the Loraine family, who were the first employers of Lancelot Brown.
